15 Minutes to Freedom

Society has told us not to say, or even feel certain ways. But why? To be polite? To prevent conflict? The things that are taboo are both positive and negative. Addressing self-esteem issues from the past are frowned upon just as bragging is. But what happens if you ignore society and verbally confront your demons or cheer and praise your achievements? It's possible that it could propel you to new heights. Give it a try. Feel free to contact me at ryan@gsdmediagroup.com. I’d love to hear from you.

Are you an anchor, resisting change, movement, and growth? Or are you an engine, driving, pushing, progressing, and advancing? Are you propelling those around you forward, or are you holding them in place? It's a pretty simple question when you think about it. If you're truly honest with yourself, so is the answer.

It’s no secret to anyone that’s been listening to the podcast. My family history growing up was a bit dicey. Fortunately or unfortunately, we don’t have the choice of picking our family. However, we do have a choice how we react and relate to them. The interesting thing is how our perception of our family can change as we get older. Questions or comments?

Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s get down to what really matters. No, I’m not talking about sex, though it can be part of it. I’m referring to the things that relationships are built off of; a hand on the small of the back, holding hands, watching a movie together on the couch, and so on. Questions, comments, requests?

The highlight real. The majority of us have one. For most, it’s called social media. Whether it’s photos that are doctored and filtered or selfies that took 45 min to take, when it comes down to it it’s all about misrepresenting who we are. Here lies a problem. When someone creates this false persona on social media, it only does negative damage to their own psyche. Questions or comments? Feel free to contact me at ryan@gsdmediagroup.com.
